About us

The Belgian Hand Therapists or B.H.T. is the scientific associety for hand therapists in Belgium.
Initially, when the association was founded on August 25th 1983 by BAUDOUX Jean-Marie,, CREVECOEUR Yvette, DETONGRE Francis, en OTTHIERS Jacques, it was called “Association pour la révalidation de la main – A.R.M.”
Six years later, 14th December 1989, the general assembly agreed on changing the name to “Belgian Hand Therapists" - "B.H.T”.

Our members are a mixture of physical -and occupational therapists and orthotists have a additional big interest for the treatment of hand pathologies and the rehabilitation after a hand trauma. Each member is supposed to stay “up to date” on the evolutions within this specific field of rehabilitation.
